Two Possibilities
Two Possibilities
An excerpt from Journey into Now
There are always two possibilities at any moment in your life. Either you are fully present or you are in the mind.
When you are fully present, you are in a state of consciousness called Presence. You are here now. You are experiencing the truth and reality of the present moment. The illusion of separation has dissolved and you are in a state of inner silence, relating moment to moment to that which is here now with you.
When you are in the mind, you have abandoned the truth and reality of the present moment for an illusory world. When you are in the mind, you are somewhere in the past or future. You are not here now. What you are experiencing is not real.
Using the power of thought, memory and imagination, you have created a world of illusion and now you are condemned to live in it. Nearly all human suffering is attributable to this simple fact.
